  1. Out on the fourth bbo so I will be back before you leave. Have you been to Myanmar before ? I am told it is like bali in the 60's. My first visit to Bali was 1975 unfortunately that "bali" is long gone or most of it anyway. look forward to your thoughts Bbo on return.
  2. Had a good weekend football wise. Went to nothing at all due to some small family problems on Saturday. feel at peace with the world. This could catch on! Heard the dees lost by 10 goals and Grimes out for who knows how long. Does it matter? no not a lot. Booked a holiday to Thailand in June today the winter is looking up.
  3. The appointment of Peter Jackson for 6 months may well be the very thing the MFC needs. He is beholding to no one and has six months to see the problems and say what he thinks. Unlike a full time employee who has to be careful not to offend the Chairman, board and FD he can say it as he sees it. He will walk in six months and the MFC can like his view or lump it. He is IMO likely to call for some drastic action lets see if the MFC is up to it.
  4. The above covers it well RR. The last paragraph is my exact feeling but unfortunately I do not believe they are going to go willingly.
  5. I think your luck ended after you missed out on being in a Carlton Box redleg.Cannot imagine there will be too many dees in that area on Sunday. You know it is bad when long term dees members stop wearing Red and Blue to a game. A friend of mine who I go with most weeks has stopped wearing Red and Blue. he is going on sunday and planning to sit next to Carlton members. He says if he can keep his trap shut they might no guess he is a dees supporter. Bloody sad but there you are.
  6. Sorry hh but I cannot agree with you, what evidence can you provide to prove the list is capable of making the eight.IMO it will struggle to get out of the bottom four in the next couple of years.
  7. Well Peter you have been in the job two days. Whats you fix plan?
  8. Trouble is Unleash Hell I have been on the under dog for the most part of 48 years. It does get a little tiresome.
  9. Plus a new Chairman
  10. The AFL would go on with barely a blink. Being the oldest means little if you cannot cut it. Kodak went from a giant to bankruptcy in ten years. Being original guarantees you nothing more than being the original
  11. Well bb I am sad to see you go but I understand 100% my own thoughts are very close to yours. The MFC is on its knees. Not sure I have the fight left in me any longer either. I will continue to pay my membership because I don't want it on my conscience that I had any small part in its demise. Just like you bb I have almost lost the will to fight on.
  12. I don't believe it Satriconhome you are speechless
  13. Not the worst idea I have heard in 2013
  14. I think you are a martyr mate 187 looks possible Redleg
  15. Thank the Lord you are still with us Crawf52. I thought you had taken up diving from high bridges. The light just become a pin point of hope!
  16. There goes the Banana Bread!
  17. Cannot believe this thread is still covering the same ground after 55 pages. IMO we have a very ordinary list that is playing up to its ability and is worse than 2012 so far. A large part of this team has been chosen by this Coach. Due to the poor nature of our list I don't see how it is possible for us in the outer to judge if Neeld is good or not. Only those close to the coal face would be able to make that judgement. However the loss ratio cannot continue past the end of 2013. Unless there is a dramatic change the Coach is gone be it in the next few weeks or at the end of August. Simply with a continuation of the current form it will be impossible to sell Mark Neeld to the Members / Sponsors past 2013. There will need to be hope for 2014 and beyond. For what it is worth ( probably not a lot ) that is my feeling
  18. It would solve one problem. I could forget about Senior AFL Football and concentrate on teams that would give me a reasonable degree of Joy.
  19. funny bb but that is exactly how I am handling it.It came to me on the way home from Brisbane on Monday morning. Off to Casey at Port or Uni Blacks on Saturday and Sunday in a football sense does not exist. Day with my daughter and Grand daughter.
  20. it is working today Bbo.It seems to like Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays I suppose four out of seven is not a bad result. On it now i need to use it now as Midnight is approaching fast. must be cold up your way Bbo one or two alpaca night?
  21. Oh please bb you making me ill with your good humour.Please return soon and suffer with the rest of us poor souls!
  22. Wholemeal bread with natural Banana straight out of the skin that was it Redleg. Washed down with a cup of English breakfast. Thank you for the concern for my health. Bloody sad that this is the most positive thing I can talk about today on Demonland.
  23. Good afternoon fellow banana lovers. Any news worth discuss that does not involve, sacking MN, the new GM achieving miracles in 6 months or slagging off my fellow Demonlanders? I had a very nice banana sandwich for lunch so far the highlight of my day.
  24. That covers it for me too Deeoldfart. it is bloody frustrating.I have all but given up on 2013 as we seem to be just heading to an inevitable conclusion. seems to be when not if.
